Friedrich Schiller's treatise on the role of art in society is among the most profound works of German philosophy. The book, first published in 1795, is still relevant today. Beginning with a political analysis of modern society - particularly the French Revolution and its failure to realize universal freedom - Schiller observes that people cannot overcome their circumstances without education. He sees art as a means of education that can free people from the limitations and excesses of both pure nature and pure mind. Through aesthetic experience, he argues, people can reconcile the inner antagonism between feeling and intellect, nature and reason. Schiller's proposal of art as fundamental to the development of society and the individual is a lasting influential concept, and this volume gives the clearest, most vital expression of his philosophy.
